Summer Intern at L.E.K. Consulting

Description

Overview:

  • E.K.’s Global Aviation and Travel Practice is seeking a candidate to fill an internship focused on the redevelopment of our network modeling tool (CompetiShare). The QSI-based tool has been developed over the past decade through various engagements with leading global airlines. In order to better meet emerging Client requirements, we’re now looking to transition this in-house tool to a more robust platform to ensure continued efficacy. The internship will focus on this redevelopment with the ultimate deliverable being the enhanced network QSI tool on a superior database platform. L.E.K.’s Global Aviation Expert and the broader Practice will play an integral role in working with the selected candidate to identify the key requirements and to provide coaching throughout the internship. The selected candidate will be an integral member of our Aviation and Travel team and will participate in our weekly practice meetings, firm-wide activities and other ongoing training and development programs.

Timeline/reporting:

  • Ten week full-time internship starting in mid-May (for the right candidate can be treated as a co-op over a longer time period with reduced weekly hours)
